Doreatha Wright is dead, another victim of another shooting in the city. Her son, Bobby Beasley, 20, sits on the couch in his mother's house on North Bond Street, his girlfriend's hands on his lap, and matter-of-factly contemplates how a life could end so abruptly. "She was out enjoying a beautiful day, and she got shot." In Baltimore, death can be that simple. Doreatha was shot Sunday afternoon, about 4:30, in Upper Fells Point while driving her white Toyota Camry packed with family east on Gough Street.

Seeking to rehabilitate 10 dilapidated playgrounds, the City Council urged state lawmakers in a resolution last night to support legislation that would provide $500,000 for the project. The council gave unanimous approval to the nonbinding resolution, which asks the General Assembly to support Senate Bill 768 and House Bill 1317. The resolution was sponsored by 3rd District Councilman Robert Curran of Northeast Baltimore. He and others said the measure is key to helping rebuild playgrounds.

On the second day of his trial, the former Baltimore police officer charged with stealing money from an immigrant testified yesterday that poor judgment and fear of being accused of lying caused a misunderstanding that ultimately led to his resignation and arrest."

Time has done what swollen feet, backaches, downpours and freezing temperatures couldn't -- Angeline Sudano, a crossing guard for 30 years at Caroline and Gough streets, is retiring.At 74, she's eligible for retirement, and she's taking it. Today, the last day of school for city children, she will walked gingerly to her corner for the last time."She's been out here every day all the years that I've been coming to school," said Craig Howard, a fourth-grader at City Springs Elementary School.

New housing developments that would add more than 700 mostly market-rate homes to two Baltimore neighborhoods were unveiled yesterday before a city design panel. In a second major new development proposed for Greektown, a Towson developer hopes to construct about 230 "two-over-two" market-rate townhouses on about 115 lots, with two units in each four-story structure, on an industrial site north of Gough Street. And Claremont Freedom Village in Northeast Baltimore will have an estimated 475 market-rate and subsidized townhouses and apartments.

Neighborhoods near Fells Point remain diverse I enjoyed Rob Kasper's article about the Latin Palace in Fells Point ("Spanish Accent, June 25). It sounds like a fun place, and I had no idea of its social importance to the Latino families in the area. However, I would like to correct the impression he made by suggesting that some are now defining the area bounded by Central and Patterson Park avenues, and Fleet and Baltimore streets as "Spanish Town." To be sure, there are a growing number of Hispanic businesses along the Broadway corridor and about a block or so to the east and west, between Aliceanna and Lombard streets.

A frightening earthquake jolted Baltimore and much of the East Coast on Tuesday, shaking buildings and rattling nerves. Thousands of people streamed from offices and homes into the afternoon sunshine, stunned by a phenomenon more commonly associated with seismic hot spots like California and Japan. Area officials reported that the quake caused only pockets of significant damage, and there were no known deaths or serious injuries, locally or nationwide. But the sense of alarm was widespread as mystified residents jammed phone networks trying to reach loved ones and officials scrambled to assess the fallout.
